CHANA GREENWALD

LPC

After years of being a stay-at-home mother and caring for my five children, several friends and acquaintances who sought my advice and support when dealing with life’s challenges encouraged me to become a therapist. At the age of 41, I went back to school and earned my master’s degree in counseling. I subsequently earned certificates in trauma/PTSD and in couples counseling/ intimate relationship skills. I view life as a journey with many obstacles along the way. We may find ourselves struggling with difficult or broken relationships, illness, the death of a loved one or unresolved issues from our childhood. At times we might feel anxious, confused, depressed and even hopeless and we don’t know where to turn to find relief. Struggles and challenges are part of the human condition and sometimes we need a little assistance to overcome them. I am passionate about helping people find the inner peace and fulfillment we all seek by assisting them in acquiring tools for self-growth, for reducing anxiety and depression and for improved relationships. The process can be extremely rewarding and life-changing. Combining several modalities, my approach is custom-tailored to meet each individual’s needs. I believe that the client is the expert on his/her own life and I am the emotional/mental guide who will assist you in reaching your destination. Phone: (314) 420-7448 Email: cgreenwald@cccastl.com

DAVID KOHLHAGEN

LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. I have been treating individuals, couples and families, and studying, applying, teaching and practicing metaphysical knowledge and insights for forty years. I treat a wide spectrum of psychological symptoms and diagnoses, and I have specialized training, experience and skills in treating couples, personality disorders (except Borderline Personality Disorder), addictions and chemical dependency, spiritual issues, and PTSD and trauma of all kinds. I offer extended therapy sessions of two hours and more for a more intensive therapy experience, when it is appropriate. Hypnotherapy and metaphysics is part of everything I do professionally. I apply metaphysical understandings to clients’ spiritual crises and I help to resolve their confusion about their identity, their individual purpose and meaning in life, and the significance and value of their challenges and issues. I teach people how to identify and connect with their uniquely individual path, even as I continue to learn about it myself. “Path” is being fully connected with what you truly are, beneath all the masks, acts, personas, trauma, addictions, bad habits of mind, and confusion about identity and self-worth. Connecting with path is about learning to let go of all the things that you are not and it is about learning to trust your inner self, for we are far more than our physical being.

JESSICA DAVIDSON

LPC, ATR

I am Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Art Therapist. There are ups and downs in life. There are times when it is smooth sailing and times when the waters can get pretty rough. It is OK to not know exactly how to navigate those waters or to feel "lost at sea". If we can give ourselves permission to not know, to have doubts about our life, to struggle, and to ask for help, we can begin to take back control. I am committed to objectively partnering with you on your journey in finding clarity, resolution, and healing. I provide a safe space where you can put some of your time, energy, and focus back into yourself so you can rebalance and sort out your feelings to navigate through the rough spots. I utilize an integrated approach and incorporate mindfulness based techniques, internal family systems theory, as well as transpersonal psychology in my work.

Denise Wilson

LCSW

Just a little about me. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from Southeast Missouri State University. My first "grown-up job" was as a Probation Officer in a Drug Court program. I worked there for 13 1/2 years. I learned a lot about the population(adults) we served as well as a lot about myself in that time. I think the biggest thing I learned about myself is my passion for helping people. So many people struggle, including myself, with so many things and I want to be a help agent for them and for change. That lead me to pursue a Master in Social Work degree. I went to Saint Louis University and graduated in 2014. After graduating, I found a wonderful job working in child psychiatry as a Clinical Coordinator and Trauma Therapist. I have received training in a number of trauma modalities along with Parent-Child Interaction Therapy(PCIT).

With my experience working in the behavioral health and criminal justice systems for over 20 years in a variety of areas including juveniles, families, addiction, and adults, my practical knowledge of serving children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced trauma, the foster care system, substance abuse along with conducting assessments, and utilizing community resources has given me a skill set that allows me to be the therapist I am today. My experience has given me the opportunity to work with diverse populations. My experience has also provided me the ability to work independently as well as work as a member of a team. I love learning so I continue to seek knowledge to help myself grow; not only for myself but for those I seek to help.

I believe in meeting people where they are and treating everyone with the utmost respect, sensitivity, care, and compassion. My style combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, utilizing a strength-based, and solution-focused approach.

SHERRY HOPKINS

LMFT

I have always had a passion for working with couples experiencing turmoil in their relationships resulting from infidelities, communication problems, or life cycle transitions. I also have worked extensively with those struggling with anxiety and depression. Among my areas of expertise are relationship issues, parenting styles, communication problems, anxiety, depression, adolescent challenges, and the exploration of the whole self. All of my years as an artist, wife and mother combined with my knowledge of family systems enables me to offer a unique and creative way of blending counseling theories and techniques to meet the needs of my clients. As an engaged, emotion-focused therapist, my approach is to explore the varying degrees of emotional pain, loss, loneliness, and yearning for comfort that can be disguised by actions masking those feelings through being defensive, angry, and emotionally distant. Integrating complementary methodologies and techniques allows me to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, I will work with each individual, couple, and family to help them build on their strengths to attain the personal growth and relationship satisfaction they are committed to achieving. I have also completed 100 hours of training with Dr. Michael Yapko in Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy and am happy to discuss with you how clinical hypnosis might help you reach your goals.

I am dedicated to building on the strengths of my clients to provide a secure place to help guide them into the journey of recovery and healing. My therapeutic approach is flexible based on the needs of the client, and often include helping people utilize their inner strengths to increase self-awareness and incorporate healthy coping skills to improve the quality of their relationships with themselves and others. More importantly, my goal is to help you reach a place in your life where you will experience the highest possible state of emotional and physical well-being.

I offer challenging insight with compassion and practical solutions aimed at developing a new awareness and fulfilling life for my clients. I am passionate about connecting with people and aspire to provide a safe atmosphere in which you can share your feelings and life struggles. I believe that each person has innate strengths and I feel honored to be able to be a part of your journey towards a more satisfying and healthy life.

I have never been more committed in helping you overcome the obstacles that restrict your destiny than I am now. There is no greater reward than to see someone rise above their challenges and conquer their goals. As an individual, you are the expert! I am simply present to listen, provide therapeutic feedback, and support you in finding solutions.
